“Why Caravans Should be Inspected Every Two Years: BOVAG’s Concerns and Public Opinion”

The reason for this statement was a message about the sector organization BOVAG. She is concerned about the state of caravans in our country.

‘A caravan has so much weight’, responds one proponent. ‘It can drag the towing vehicle with it in the event of an incident. Especially if the brakes are out of order. And a gas hose, which is faulty. I don’t even want to think about what risks you take.’

‘Used little and hip on the road, dangerous. Everyone should also take a caravan driving course,’ says another.

Another keeps track: “Safety first.”

‘Serious caravan owners really know that maintenance is required and those who use the caravan annually also have this carried out periodically,’ writes an opponent. ‘It’s just like with cars and boats, because of the internet there have been an awful lot of people who call themselves traders who don’t take safety very seriously, which can lead to these kinds of excesses.’

Another opponent: ‘Fortunately: another new obligation/coercion added in this over-regulated country: leave the responsibility with the owner.’
